Appendix A. Salesforce Platform Assumptions 

Salesforce Lightning Platform Assumptions (referred to as “Platform”) 

Language  

The user interface can only support the languages that are supported by the Platform. 

Platform Limitations 

Conga is 100% native to the Platform. The Conga solutions are subject to the constraints, limitations,  features and capability provided by the Platform, e.g. the limitation of uploaded files to twenty-five  (25) megabytes, 

Advanced Configuration 

“Advanced Configurations” refer to Conga Solution components composed of the Salesforce and  software development technologies listed here: salesforce Apex, salesforce Visualforce, salesforce  triggers and JavaScript, Conga callbacks and APIs. Conga will make all commercially reasonable  efforts to minimize the design, development and testing of Advanced Configurations. Customer will  be responsible for the maintenance of all Advanced Configurations following Go-Live, unless  appropriate Conga Managed services are procured. Conga Services will achieve a code coverage of  eighty (80) percent for Conga code exclusively. The Services included herein will not require the  modification of third-party code in Customer’s salesforce environments.  

Customer Salesforce Procured Lightning Platform Org Assumptions:  

For clarity, the assumptions below apply only in situations where Customer has procured Salesforce  Lightning Platform Org Licenses independent of Conga for the purposes of Conga to deliver its  product and services. If Conga has procured the Org Licenses, then the below does not apply.  

Platform Dependencies 

As the Conga Solution is 100% native to the Platform, the execution of this SOW is dependent on the  Customer’s configuration and management of Customer Salesforce instances in so far as the  readiness of these instances support the following standard Salesforce features, practices and  policies. 

Cumulative Code Coverage 

Cumulative code coverage in Customer's Salesforce environment cannot be guaranteed by Conga. In  the event that Customer’s code coverage impacts the deployment of the Conga Solution, Customer  will remediate code coverage in a timely manner. 

Customer Procured Third-party Apps and Configured Objects 

Conga will not be responsible for servicing any third-party App running on the Salesforce platform  and servicing any Customer configured Objects, unless specified in the SOW.  

Salesforce Environments 

Customer must provide all necessary Platform environments, including sandboxes, to enable the  performance of the Project as described herein. Customer is required to license all required Platform  environments, including sandboxes, directly from Salesforce. Failure to do so will alter the expected  duration and cost of the Project implementation and require a Change Order. 

The Project is dependent upon Customer’s applicable Platform environments. Customer and Conga will conduct all Solution configuration, testing and deployment activities in the following three (3) salesforce environments, as licensed from Salesforce by Customer and managed by Customer, unless  specified otherwise in the SOW:

  • Build – one (1) Salesforce sandbox environment (Developer Pro)

  • Test – one (1) Salesforce sandbox environment (bare minimum Partial Sandbox, ideal would  be the full sandbox)

  • Production – one (1) Salesforce production environment 

While lesser varieties of salesforce sandbox environments are available, the storage capacity of a full copy sandbox is required for the Conga Solution. Please consult salesforce materials at  help.salesforce.com for additional sandbox details.

Appendix B. Salesforce Platform Assumptions 

Salesforce Lightning Platform Assumptions (referred to as “Platform”) 

Language  

The user interface can only support the languages that are supported by the Platform. 

Platform Limitations 

Apttus is 100% native to the Platform. The Apttus solutions are subject to the constraints, limitations,  features and capability provided by the Platform, e.g. the limitation of uploaded files to twenty-five  (25) megabytes, 

Advanced Configuration 

“Advanced Configurations” refer to Apttus Solution components composed of the Salesforce and  software development technologies listed here: salesforce Apex, salesforce Visualforce, salesforce  triggers and JavaScript, Apttus callbacks and APIs. Apttus will make all commercially reasonable  efforts to minimize the design, development and testing of Advanced Configurations. Customer will  be responsible for the maintenance of all Advanced Configurations following Go-Live, unless  appropriate Apttus Managed services are procured. Apttus Services will achieve a code coverage of  eighty (80) percent for Apttus code exclusively. The Services included herein will not require the  modification of third-party code in Customer’s salesforce environments.  

Customer Salesforce Procured Lightning Platform Org Assumptions:  

For clarity, the assumptions below apply only in situations where Customer has procured Salesforce  Lightning Platform Org Licenses independent of Apttus for the purposes of Apttus to deliver its  product and services. If Apttus has procured the Org Licenses, then the below does not apply.  

Platform Dependencies 

As the Apttus Solution is 100% native to the Platform, the execution of this SOW is dependent on the  Customer’s configuration and management of Customer Salesforce instances in so far as the  readiness of these instances support the following standard Salesforce features, practices and  policies. 

Cumulative Code Coverage 

Cumulative code coverage in Customer's Salesforce environment cannot be guaranteed by Apttus. In  the event that Customer’s code coverage impacts the deployment of the Apttus Solution, Customer  will remediate code coverage in a timely manner. 

Customer Procured Third-party Apps and Configured Objects 

Apttus will not be responsible for servicing any third-party App running on the Salesforce platform  and servicing any Customer configured Objects, unless specified in the SOW.  

Salesforce Environments 

Customer must provide all necessary Platform environments, including sandboxes, to enable the  performance of the Project as described herein. Customer is required to license all required Platform  environments, including sandboxes, directly from Salesforce. Failure to do so will alter the expected  duration and cost of the Project implementation and require a Change Order. 

The Project is dependent upon Customer’s applicable Platform environments. Customer and Apttus will conduct all Solution configuration, testing and deployment activities in the following three (3) salesforce environments, as licensed from Salesforce by Customer and managed by Customer, unless  specified otherwise in the SOW:

  • Build – one (1) Salesforce sandbox environment (Developer Pro)

  • Test – one (1) Salesforce sandbox environment (bare minimum Partial Sandbox, ideal would  be the full sandbox)

  • Production – one (1) Salesforce production environment 

While lesser varieties of salesforce sandbox environments are available, the storage capacity of a full copy sandbox is required for the Apttus Solution. Please consult salesforce materials at  help.salesforce.com for additional sandbox details.

Appendix B. Salesforce Platform Assumptions 

Salesforce Lightning Platform Assumptions (referred to as “Platform”) 

Language  

The user interface can only support the languages that are supported by the Platform. 

Platform Limitations 

Apttus is 100% native to the Platform. The Apttus solutions are subject to the constraints, limitations,  features and capability provided by the Platform, e.g. the limitation of uploaded files to twenty-five  (25) megabytes, 

Advanced Configuration 

“Advanced Configurations” refer to Apttus Solution components composed of the Salesforce and  software development technologies listed here: salesforce Apex, salesforce Visualforce, salesforce  triggers and JavaScript, Apttus callbacks and APIs. Apttus will make all commercially reasonable  efforts to minimize the design, development and testing of Advanced Configurations. Customer will  be responsible for the maintenance of all Advanced Configurations following Go-Live, unless  appropriate Apttus Managed services are procured. Apttus Services will achieve a code coverage of  eighty (80) percent for Apttus code exclusively. The Services included herein will not require the  modification of third-party code in Customer’s salesforce environments.  

Customer Salesforce Procured Lightning Platform Org Assumptions:  

For clarity, the assumptions below apply only in situations where Customer has procured Salesforce  Lightning Platform Org Licenses independent of Apttus for the purposes of Apttus to deliver its  product and services. If Apttus has procured the Org Licenses, then the below does not apply.  

Platform Dependencies 

As the Apttus Solution is 100% native to the Platform, the execution of this SOW is dependent on the  Customer’s configuration and management of Customer Salesforce instances in so far as the  readiness of these instances support the following standard Salesforce features, practices and  policies. 

Cumulative Code Coverage 

Cumulative code coverage in Customer's Salesforce environment cannot be guaranteed by Apttus. In  the event that Customer’s code coverage impacts the deployment of the Apttus Solution, Customer  will remediate code coverage in a timely manner. 

Customer Procured Third-party Apps and Configured Objects 

Apttus will not be responsible for servicing any third-party App running on the Salesforce platform  and servicing any Customer configured Objects, unless specified in the SOW.  

Salesforce Environments 

Customer must provide all necessary Platform environments, including sandboxes, to enable the  performance of the Project as described herein. Customer is required to license all required Platform  environments, including sandboxes, directly from Salesforce. Failure to do so will alter the expected  duration and cost of the Project implementation and require a Change Order. 

The Project is dependent upon Customer’s applicable Platform environments. Customer and Apttus will conduct all Solution configuration, testing and deployment activities in the following three (3) salesforce environments, as licensed from Salesforce by Customer and managed by Customer, unless  specified otherwise in the SOW:

  • Build – one (1) Salesforce sandbox environment (Developer Pro)

  • Test – one (1) Salesforce sandbox environment (bare minimum Partial Sandbox, ideal would  be the full sandbox)

  • Production – one (1) Salesforce production environment 

While lesser varieties of salesforce sandbox environments are available, the storage capacity of a full copy sandbox is required for the Apttus Solution. Please consult salesforce materials at  help.salesforce.com for additional sandbox details.

Appendix B. Salesforce Platform Assumptions 

Salesforce Lightning Platform Assumptions (referred to as “Platform”) 

Language  

The user interface can only support the languages that are supported by the Platform. 

Platform Limitations 

Apttus is 100% native to the Platform. The Apttus solutions are subject to the constraints, limitations,  features and capability provided by the Platform, e.g. the limitation of uploaded files to twenty-five  (25) megabytes, 

Advanced Configuration 

“Advanced Configurations” refer to Apttus Solution components composed of the Salesforce and  software development technologies listed here: salesforce Apex, salesforce Visualforce, salesforce  triggers and JavaScript, Apttus callbacks and APIs. Apttus will make all commercially reasonable  efforts to minimize the design, development and testing of Advanced Configurations. Customer will  be responsible for the maintenance of all Advanced Configurations following Go-Live, unless  appropriate Apttus Managed services are procured. Apttus Services will achieve a code coverage of  eighty (80) percent for Apttus code exclusively. The Services included herein will not require the  modification of third-party code in Customer’s salesforce environments.  

Customer Salesforce Procured Lightning Platform Org Assumptions:  

For clarity, the assumptions below apply only in situations where Customer has procured Salesforce  Lightning Platform Org Licenses independent of Apttus for the purposes of Apttus to deliver its  product and services. If Apttus has procured the Org Licenses, then the below does not apply.  

Platform Dependencies 

As the Apttus Solution is 100% native to the Platform, the execution of this SOW is dependent on the  Customer’s configuration and management of Customer Salesforce instances in so far as the  readiness of these instances support the following standard Salesforce features, practices and  policies. 

Cumulative Code Coverage 

Cumulative code coverage in Customer's Salesforce environment cannot be guaranteed by Apttus. In  the event that Customer’s code coverage impacts the deployment of the Apttus Solution, Customer  will remediate code coverage in a timely manner. 

Customer Procured Third-party Apps and Configured Objects 

Apttus will not be responsible for servicing any third-party App running on the Salesforce platform  and servicing any Customer configured Objects, unless specified in the SOW.  

Salesforce Environments 

Customer must provide all necessary Platform environments, including sandboxes, to enable the  performance of the Project as described herein. Customer is required to license all required Platform  environments, including sandboxes, directly from Salesforce. Failure to do so will alter the expected  duration and cost of the Project implementation and require a Change Order. 

The Project is dependent upon Customer’s applicable Platform environments. Customer and Apttus will conduct all Solution configuration, testing and deployment activities in the following three (3) salesforce environments, as licensed from Salesforce by Customer and managed by Customer, unless  specified otherwise in the SOW:

  • Build – one (1) Salesforce sandbox environment (Developer Pro)

  • Test – one (1) Salesforce sandbox environment (bare minimum Partial Sandbox, ideal would  be the full sandbox)

  • Production – one (1) Salesforce production environment 

While lesser varieties of salesforce sandbox environments are available, the storage capacity of a full copy sandbox is required for the Apttus Solution. Please consult salesforce materials at  help.salesforce.com for additional sandbox details.
